Today’s Market Theme:
Oil prices surge, powering energy stocks higher; economic data sets the tone for sentiment.
Key Developments
  1. Iran conflict escalates further; oil tanker attacked, driving WTI crude sharply into the $90–100 range. Energy stocks gain support, while tech stocks face pressure.
  2. Tesla announces joint “Macrohard” project with xAI; China February sales jump 91% YoY. Sentiment improves, but watch for broader tech-sector headwinds.
Trading Opportunities
  1. OXY (Occidental Petroleum) : Benefits from rising oil prices; up ~1% in pre-market. Target: $58. Long bias recommended.
  2. TSLA (Tesla) : xAI partnership + strong China sales; holding steady at $404. Watch for potential breakout above prior high of $420.
  3. If Jobless Claims beat expectations, consider shorting S&P 500 with downside target below 6,730. Focus on recession fears triggered by the data.
Today’s Key Event
8:30 ET (20:30 JST) – US Initial Jobless Claims.
If the print exceeds the 215K consensus, it will heighten recession concerns and intensify downside pressure.
